In this study, monitoring method which is more economic and easier in maintenance comparing to existing monitoring system was scrutinized for application to sewer intercepting chamber of 10.2 ha basin area by estimating CSOs (Combined Sewer Overflows) quantity and quality with 2 rainfall events using electrical conductivity data and civil research model. The result showed that determination coefficient of flow estimation by EC (Electrical Conductivity) dilution ratio and observed data was over 0.86 for all cases and the accuracy of estimation was improved from 0.5 to 0.8 for determination coefficient ($R^2$) and from 54.1% to 68.5% for accumulation frequency of relative error by considering antecedent dry days and rainfall duration. CSOs water quality estimation results by civil research model showed that determination coefficients were 0.64~0.97 for BOD and 0.70~0.95 for SS.

In recent years, combined and separated sewer overflows (CSOs, SSOs) have been recognized as a significant pollution problem. To solve this problem a series of experiments were performed in a small scale Rapid Floc Settler (RFS) device to determine its ability in removing micro particles and dissolved materials from polluted waters. The RFS device is a compact physico-chemical wasterwater treatment system. Polyacrylamide (PAM) is used as a coagulant for treating stormwater in the RFS. The results of Jar test showed that PAM could be an excellent coagulant as compared with aluminum sulfate. and ferric chloride. In several experimental conditions, the influence of different variation parameters was tested to measure the efficiency of the RFS. Tests have been carried out with typical CSOs concentrations (50~1.000mg SS/L). The treatment efficiency with regard to SS and COD, which can be obtained at an overflow rate of $130m^3/m^2/day$, are 90% and 80%, respectively. Comparing other sedimentation technologies with RFS, the overflows rate of RFS is ten times faster. The distribution of particle size and number were analyzed. The RFS is suitable for the treatment of CSOs and also the removal of settleable and dissolved materials in urban stormwater runoff.

도시 유역의 하수관거는 대부분 합류식 하수관거로 되어 있기 때문에 도시하천의 물순환을 모의하기 위해 수량적인 측면이나 수질적인 측면에서 강우시의 합류식 하수관거 월류수 즉, CSOs를 고려한다면 보다 정확한 모의가 가능할 것이다. 목감천 유역은 중 상류 지역의 대부분은 농경 또는 임야로 이용되고 있지만, 하구부에는 밀집된 시가지가 전체유역 면적의 약 35.2 %인 $18.66\;km^2$를 형성하고 있고, 이중 대부분이 합류식 하수관거로 되어 있다. 따라서 목감천 유역을 PCSWMM의 TRANSPORT 블럭내의 flow divider를 이용하여 모형을 구성하여 1996년부터 2005년까지 10년 동안의 연속유출모의를 실시하여 물순환 분석을 하였다. 결과를 보면 10년 평균 강수량은 1537.9 mm이며, 직접유출량 비율은 1,263.0 mm, 침투량은 335.7 mm, 증발량은 415.7 mm이다. 또한 10년 평균 상수량은 909.10 mm, 하수량은 736.3 mm(CSOs 355.0 mm), 하천유입하수량은 170.3 mm, 서남 및 역곡하수처리장 이송량은 211.0 mm이다. 부하량 결과를 살펴보면 발생부하량은 10,108,554 kg/year이며 배출부하량은 834,533 kg/year으로, 이는 곧 점오염원을 의미한다. 유역 총 배출량은 1,575,200 kg/year, 비점오염원은 740,667 kg/year, 하수처리장 이송부하량은 1,220,000 kg/year, 목감천 출구지점에서는 355,200 kg/year(CSOs 62,531 kg/year)임을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, combined sewer overflows (CSOs) from five independent rainfall events in rural city area were collected and investigated. First flush effect in sewage pumping station located near the WWTP was retarded 30 to 60 minutes from booster pumping station. The ratios between SS, COD and TP concentrations prior to rainfall and peak concentrations during the period of rainfall were highly increased but nitrogen was relatively constant, which indicates that it is not associated with particles washed off from the surface of watershed. Mass balance results show that 30% of CSO was generated from booster pump station and 66.5% of CSO was from the whole runoff area. In the area of newly constructed sewer system, CSO problem was related with pump and sewer capacities, but in other old sewer system equipped area, it was due to the collection efficiency. Finally, Log-Log pollutant rating equations were suggested.

The combined sewer overflows(COSs) which enters to river are involved with water pollution of rivers. Therefore, the standard capacity should be decided in proper standard considering water pollution density and characteristic of outflow. But in domestic, the standard capacity is not considered the characteristics of rainfall-outflows and is applied uniformly in all areas. The standard is triple of a maximum amount of sewage per one hour ; 3Q. The outflow of 3Q enters to sewage treatment plant and the overflows enter to river. In this study, a standard rainfall is estimated to determine the capacity of intercepting sewer by statistical analysis of rainfall data and it is considered about the regional characteristic of the rainfall-outflow. The standard rainfall is analyzed through the data of Seoul. In the result the standard rainfall was 6.76mm of 4hr duration. The rainfall-outflows and CSOs are analyzed using SWMM(Storm Water Management Model).

This paper presents a systematic approach for the economical design of stormwater quality control systems. For the design of runoff quality control system (RQCS), the rainfall-runoff process requires the local rainfall data recorded continuously. In this study the rainfall probability distribution is assumed to follow an exponential decay function. Applying the exponential decay function, the normalized curves are derived to explain the non-exceedance probability distributions. The optimal curves for the determination of the RQCS size are derived based on the overflow risk. Comparison of the optimal capture volume and peak runoff rate to those computed by an urban rainfall-runoff model(ILLUDAS) demonstrates that the optimal CSOs(Combined Sewer Overflows) curves derived in this study can be utilized for the design of stormwater quality control systems in Korea avoiding an excessive computational effort based on over flow risks.

This study was conducted to confirm the CSOs characteristics, and to estimate treatment efficiency of CSO treatment process. Flowrate was average $53,500m^3$/d, maximum $58,100m^3$/d during dry season, but after rain-fall, the flowrate was increased more than twice that of the dry season. And, water pollution concentrations, such as $COD_{Cr}$, SS, $BOD_5$, TN and TP of after rain-fall, were also increased. Thus, for more efficient treatment of pollutants during rainy season, The vortex separator and continuous fiber filter devices were used. From the results on particle range, removal efficiency of particle was 99.7% at the particle size range of $40{\sim}100{\mu}m$ but decreased as 55-80% at the below $40{\mu}m$. The removal efficiencies of $COD_{Cr}$, SS, TN and TP were approx. 70, 60, 70 and 50, respectively during the dry season and approx. 50, 50, 8 and 18% during the rainy season. Also, when compared with the primary sediment basin, $COD_{Cr}$, SS, TN and TP removal efficiencies were high. especially, at the case of TN and TP, TN was more removed than TP because of higher conversion factor value. But we needed more study for the injection of a coagulants to get more stable treatment efficiency for soluble pollutants. Consequently, This process can be used for CSOs treatment as well as replace the primary sedimentation basin during the dry season.

최근 비점오염원 제어를 위해 오염총량제(Total Maximum Daily Loads, TMDL)가 도입되었으며, 이것은 도시유역에서의 대표적 비점오염원인 합류식 하수관거 월류수(Combined Sewer Overflows, CSOs)의 발생에 대한 분석이 선행되어야 한다. CSOs를 산정하기 위한 방법으로는 두 가지가 있다. 첫째, 확률강우량 분석에 의한 유출량 모의 방법으로, 이것은 표준강우사상에 의한 연간 CSOs 산정에 국한되는 한계를 가지고 있다. 둘째, 관측 강우 자료를 이용한 장기유출모의(LOS) 방법으로, 이 방법은 장기간의 강우 자료를 이용할 경우 최근의 강우 변화 양상을 반영하기 어려우며, 반면 단기간의 강우 자료를 이용할 경우 결과에 대한 신뢰도를 보장할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 연간 CSOs 발생량 및 오염부하량을 산정하기 위하여 강우발생모형과 Long-term Outflow Simulation 모형을 이용하였다. 본 연구를 통한 CSOs의 산정은 앞서 언급된 기존 방법들의 문제점을 해결하고자 개발되었으며, 향후 도시화에 따른 유출 변화 및 유역 물순환 변화에 대한 연구에 활용될 수 있다.

Combined sewer overflow (CSOs) is a primary diffuse source degrading water quality of urban streams. In this study, CSOs caused by 5 different rainfall events at an urban watershed located in Daejeon city were monitored for the indicator microorganism concentrations. Event mean concentration (EMC) of the indicator microorganisms were: total coliform = $2.46{\times}10^6CFU/100mL$; fecal coliform = $1.01{\times}10^6CFU/100mL$; E.coli = $5.20{\times}10^5CFU/100mL$; and Fecal Streptococci = $6.08{\times}10^5CFU/100mL$. In addition, coliform concentrations were well correlated with suspended solid concentrations and the first flush effects were identified. Settling tests were carried out to estimate removal rate of indicator organisms by sedimentation from CSOs. As microorganisms are discharged in association with suspended solid, ten minutes of settlement can lower 44% of indicator microorganism leading.

This study was carried out to evaluate the performance of a inflow controller for the control of combined sewer overflows (CSOs). Because of the inflow controller could be adjusted manually by predicting the maximum amount of peak flow, the mechanical adjustment of this controller was higher than the existing fixed-type controller in field application. Standardizing the relationship between the flow and the clearance and angle of an inlet cover plate on the inflow conditions can selected to the optimum conditions for the on-site. It was concluded that BOD pollutant loading at the region in which inflow controller was installed had shown the removal efficiency rate of 42%.
